Sportsman of the Week Ending 8/31/2025


College Football kicked off a huge Labor Day Weekend and the United States Open (of Tennis) is in full swing but we're back to baseball for our honors this week.  For the third time this season, a four home run game has been achieved.  Most ever.  This time, by home run machine Kyle Schwarber.  Schwarber is one of the great power hitters in the current era and did not disappoint against the rival Atlanta Braves.  The Wearing the classic powder blue uniforms, the Philadelphia Phillies slugger hit a HR in the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 7th inning against the Atlanta Braves collecting 9 RBI along the way, which is a good month for many players.  Wherever he plays he produces and his teams make postseason runs.  He is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
